Load up Error message
Tuesday, November 1, 2005 by RadRacin03 | Discussion: ObjectDock
Hello, I hope someone can help me with this issue.
When I load Object Dock Plus I get an error message.
"Windows - No Disk" , "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert disk into drive."
I've narrowed it down to my 3.5 floppy drive. I have compleatly removed ODP and reinstalled, but I must have missed somthing, cause when I started it back up, it loaded the docks I had configured before the uninstal. I used "windows add & remove programs" ,I phisically deleated the object dock folder, then ran tune up utillities reg. cleaner, which removed alot of files pointing to object dock. and I used Stardock Central to remove object dock, and every time I reinstall it, I get my custom docks, and ERROR message.
I tried to just leave an empty disk in the drive, but when I reboot my comp, it goes into the boot from disk task.
I don't know what else to do, I dont know why object dock would be pointing at my floppy drive anyways, I think it might have somthing to do with a docklet I tried called sys_stats, but I don't have it loaded, and do not use it. Thats my only guess though.
Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks!

Well, Thanks for trying, but that didn't help. There is another file in this location, "CurrentTheme_Backup.ini" along with the three you listed above. Let me know if you have anymore ideas. I appreciate the help.
Also is there any way to compleatly uninstall object dock, like I mentioned above, when I reinstalled it, it opend with my custom docks. So I'm sure some files are not being removed.

Ok, I tried it out myself, and you are right of course. I completely forgot about the "CurrentTheme_Backup.ini" file, but it is exactly this file that will cause the return of your old dock.
Close the Dock and then rename (change the extension to "old") the following files:
AppImages.ini
CurrentTheme.ini
CurrentTheme_Backup.ini
Restart the Dock
In my case this caused the dock to start up with the default docks. Hope this works now.
Note that you can also just delete these files, if you are sure that you don't want to use your old setup anymore. ObjectDock just creates new files if it realizes they are missing.

Alright! That fixed it. I just moved the ini.files to a floppy disk, just in case, and started the dock up again, and it loaded with fresh settings, without the error message. Thanks so much for your help.
